To Travel Through Space and Time in Search of the Unknown

Try and take a ride, from earth

To the edge of the known universe

To see if we can find the origins of ourselves

First break from gravity, past the moon

In Earth's own orbit

And Mars is silent and lifeless

-Or so they would lead us to believe-

Further out, and Jupiter

Is the King of the outer orbits

Saturn is resplendent, in ringed grace

Uranus and Neptune, both gas giants

Are at the edge of our solar system

But Pluto is a planet, with a moon called Charon?

-Or so they would lead us to believe-

-Far from the pull of the Sun-

We live in star city, Milky Way,

Where all of the night time stars that we see reside

A spiral galaxy, in deep space, 150,000 light years across

Andromeda, is the nearest spiral galaxy

2 million times the speed of light away

Helping to form the local group

With several clusters of smaller galaxies

Pre-determined, in the very first seconds of the Big Bang

50 billion trillion miles from home, at the edge of the known universe

Where the secrets may, be waiting for us to discover them
